[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#923079: tcl8.6-dev: tcl.pc pkgconfig file not packaged

[Manuel Bilderbeek]

Package: tcl8.6-dev
Version: 8.6.9+dfsg-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

It looks like nowadays pkg-config is the (de-facto) standard for finding
packages. Unlike most other dev packages and unlike other distros, the Debian
dev package of Tcl does not include the tcl.pc file.

Please add it to the dev package of Tcl. Thanks!
